Why move to the Grand Est ? A strategic and welcoming region

A strategic geographical location

1. Le Grand Est, a dynamic European crossroads

Le Grand Est enjoys an exceptional central location. Bordering four countries (Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland), the region is at the economic heart of Europe.

The region’s transport infrastructure is particularly well-developed:

• TGV Est Européen linking Paris to Strasbourg in less than 2 hours,
• Motorways A4, A31, A35 facilitating national and cross-border connections,
• International airports (Strasbourg, Metz-Nancy-Lorraine, Bâle-Mulhouse),
• Modern bus and streetcar networks in major conurbations.

   2. Greater accessibility for working people

For relocating employees, the region’s proximity to Germany and Luxembourg is a real asset. Families often choose to relocate to the Grand Est while working abroad. At Muter Loger, we integrate this strategic proximity into our housing search criteria to offer the best solutions for every situation.

A diversity of regions and living environments

1. Attractive major cities

The Grand Est region boasts a number of dynamic urban centers that offer a perfect balance between professional life and quality of life:

• Strasbourg: European capital, tertiary employment area and leading university city,
• Metz: green, cultural and modern city, well connected,
• Nancy: student city and center of scientific research,
• Reims: historic metropolis in the heart of Champagne, just 45 minutes from Paris.

   2. Affordable, family-friendly living

One of the most important criteria when planning a move is the cost of housing. In the Grand Est, the real estate market remains much more affordable than in other French regions, while offering a wide range of properties:

• houses with gardens on the outskirts of town,
• apartments in town centers,
• new or renovated homes.

Our Muter Loger teams will carry out a personalized diagnostic to identify properties that match your household’s expectations: proximity to schools, accessibility, transport, amenities, etc.

A solid, evolving economic fabric

1. Fast-growing business sectors

The Grand Est region has historically been a land of industry. Today, the regional economy rests on several complementary pillars:

• Automotive, chemical and pharmaceutical industries,
• Digital services and research centers,
• Food and wine (Alsace, Champagne),
• Renewable energies and ecological transition.

This economic diversity offers many opportunities for mobile workers.

   2. Cross-border employment areas

Cities such as Thionville, Mulhouse and Saint-Louis see a daily influx of cross-border workers from Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland. This cross-border dynamic is a lever for professional and personal development. Muter Loger supports this mobility by identifying strategically located housing: close to transport links, railway stations or borders.

Le Grand Est, a welcoming region focused on quality of life

1. A recognized cultural and natural heritage

The wealth of the Grand Est is not limited to its economy. It’s also a region of history and tradition, offering :

• Typical villages and listed historic centers,
• An art of living around Christmas markets and culinary specialties (flammekueche, sauerkraut, fine wines).
